In the first video, your concerned citizen is speaking out about gun shows and background checks. What is his expertise? What gives him such standing to to know what he was talking about. Oh yeah, he was the victim of a killer that didn't buy his guns at a gun show and did pass a BRADY background check.

In the second video, your average concerned citizen crosses state lines to illegally obtain firearms after lying to the sellers.

I don't think "Brady puppet" or "stooge" is far fetched.

MikeB, you and Laci and Jade all have talked about the need to stop the illegal flow of weapons. Shut down the iron pipeline, blah, blah, blah.

So here is a video of a man involved heavily in the illegal gun trade and you post this as an example of righteousness? Where's the outrage? Where is the condemnation for this obvious criminal activity?

Goddard is a criminal, not a hero. A vigilante that takes the law in his own hands.

This is yet another classic example of the gun control tactic that I have talked about before.

Goddard talks about being shot (with a gun that did NOT come from a gun show).

Goddard talks about classmates being shot (with a gun that did NOT come from a gun show).

Goddard's answer? More regulation of gun shows!

OF COURSE he has been put up to doing this by others! Otherwise he might talk about something that actually had something to do with the shooting he experienced, not the item that just so happens to be next on the antigunowner agenda.

Oh, Mr. Goddard is just a puppet of the Brady Campaign, then? That sort of thinking is akin to the meme that criticized the families of 9/11 victims, who were critical of Bushco, for being unpatriotic and money grubbers.

If only Goddard and every other person at VA Tech had been armed there would not have been any carnage. Right.

Oh geez... Brady have been pushing their crappy video on this for a month now, over and over, on Twitter. I feel like they are trying to "me too" MAIG, but MAIG's video was a shit load better. MAIG's video threw me for a loop. This is almost amateurish by comparison.

It's incredible to me how anyone can criticize Colin Goddard. "He's clearly an intelligent and thoughtful young man who sees a serious problem and wants it fixed," to borrow a perfect description from out Anonymous commenter.

He's a Brady tool and a criminal. He is engaged in illegal gun trafficking. If he were a black female, you would be calling for her incarceration. But since he is a white college student, you all give him a pass. What bigotry.

Think about it. A black Virginian woman buys a gun legally at a gun store. When that gun turns up in New York on Times Square, you all claimed she was a gun trafficker and a straw purchaser and should be arrested. A clean cut white man from Virginia goes state to state lying and buying multiple firearms as a straw purchaser and he is touted as some sort of freakish hero.

I think we've found Jade's inconsistency and hypocrisy and it is on the part of the gun control loons.

Yes, Goddard is a criminal. If he indeed crossed state lines to purchase guns with out involving an FFL to transfer them, then he is a criminal. If he did not keep the firearms and was bankrolled by Brady, he is also a straw purchaser.

The Feds don't enforce a fraction of the violations that they encounter.

I have done so, and I said why. If you find it "incredible," then please explain what part of my comment that you find to be so. Here it is again:

Let's try another scenario. Suppose that in 2002 the Bush administration brings forth a 9/11 survivor who says:

"I lost friends and coworkers on 9/11 because of terrorists. That's why we should invade Iraq and remove Saddam, who suppoprts terrorists."

The fact that Goddard's assailant did not take advantage of a non-background-check transaction means nothing. TColin Goddard survived a terrible gun trauma and has become an activist. The biggest thing that needs to be addressed, in his opinion and mine, is the backgkround-check loophole. That's all.

Where have I heard that before? Oh yeah:

The fact that Iraq was not who attacked us on 9-11 means nothing.America suffered a terrible terrorist attack and must now be proactive against our enemises. The biggest thing that needs to be addressed is Sddam's regime in Iraq. That's all.

FishyJay, You've just made the worst comparison yet. Maybe someone else wants to take the time and effort to explain why, I certainly don't. Gun control folks who want to do something about the "loophole" are to be compared to Bush's immoral war on Iraq. As a comparison, it's laughable.

In pushing for gun show regulation, Goddard almost always talks about the VA Tech shootings, which we know had NOTHING TO DO with gun shows.

Do you have a problem with anyone who almost always talked about 9-11 when pushing for the invasion of Iraq? Yes? Iraq had nothing to do with 9-11?

Now, do you have a problem with Goddard almost always talking about the VA Tech shootings when pushing for more gun show regulation? NO? Even though the VA Tech shootings had NOTHING TO DO with gun shows?
